These parameters include the target\u0026#39;s location, tensors, as well as relaxation frequencies. The goal is to provide a framework for assessing the performance of current and future EMI systems and to generate a benchmark for current estimation techniques of these parameters. The framework and corresponding analysis will provide a better understanding of the factors that influence these bounds, giving researchers additional insight to develop better EMI systems and estimators.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Theoretical Performance Bounds for the Estimation of Target Parameters in Electromagnetic Induction Data "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2020-04-03 18:49:52","changed_gmt":"2020-04-03 18:49:52","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-04-21T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2020-04-21T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-04-21T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-04-21 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-04-21 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-04-21 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
